The Angel of Ev,ins Gulch.
In the early spring 0f.1878, rumors
of4carbOnate discoveries*, Leadville,.
Col., obtained circulutioii. So rose=
colored were these reports, that the
outside world discredited them fora
time, inclining to the belief that the
three lines of Pacific railways and a
few laud speculators were responsible
for the hue and cry. But as the days
passed by, pers - Ons came doWn from
the new mining region with tangible
evidence of its richress, and the
.Leadville excitement grew in public
favor- as rapidly as did the Black
Hills excitement in 1875. Prospec
tors who had washed their first pans
of 'pay dirt' in the American River
Valley in 1849. and grown gray and
cynical, building sluice-boxes and
'old toms' in every mining camp of
note in California, Oregon,
Nevada,
Idaho, Montana, Dakota,. Colorado
and Arizona since that period, caught
the I,,padville fevei and hastened to
the new Mecca. Especially severe
were the ravages of this fever in the
small lead miniag towns of south
western Missouri, and _many were
comparatively depopulated.
When the , sensational rumors . of
Colorado carbonates reached Joplin,
M0.,1 the first man-to .give them cre
dence was an expert miner, Johnson
by name. Nine yearis before. he
coos th e plains to the sweet-water
gold tie rs of Wyoming Territory,
k)ii . nd little or no gold,- and barely
escaped being scalped by the Sioux
Indians; but at the time of which I
write he felt the old desire to pro
spect, return , in full force, forgot. the
hardships and privations it would
entail, and conjured up bright visions
of the treasures,to be revealed by his
pick and shovel in the third range of
the Rocky Mountains. His family
was small, comprising only himself
and daughter Jennie, a buxom little
miss of nineteen summers, who busied
herself in keeping their small cottage
neat and homelike, and teaching the
summer school; in a neighboring dis-
rict three months ont of the twelve.
'Frankly. father, I do not' like the
idea of going to Colorado,' said Jen
nie when the subject was broached.
'We are doing quite nicely here,.and
then-- and then—John and I are to
be married - • Christmas, sure, you
know.'
'Nonsense; my child,' replied the
sturdy old miner, noting his daugh
ter's blushes;. 'we will always remain
poor-in this humdrum place,. and as
to Jdhn Purdy, he can accompany
us, and you can wed- him Christmas;
New Year's, or any day there may be
enough good dollars in our common
purse to pay the preacher.',
While Jennie was averse to the
proposition of her father concerning
the Colorado venture, she blushed
sweetly at the marriage proviso, and
readily consented - to withdraw nil
opposition in case John would accom
pany thew. Paul Johnson and John
Purdy worked side by side in the
Harris mine, and that afternoon,
when the former proposed that 'they
emigrate to the new silver ; fields, the
latter! willingly apsented. ;His -earn
ings were scant twelve dollars a:week,
and marriage on so small a sum was
quite out or the question. He was
twenty-six years old, strong, weather.
bronzed snd handsome, and conjec
tured that he could succeed in the
Carbonate Camp with love as the
chief incentive. So it was speedily
arranged that Paul Johnson and the
lovers should remove-to Leadvilie.
A fortnight later the trio_bid an ever
lasting good-bye to the Missouri lead
mines. They reached Denver by fail,
at least six weeks too early in the
season, for the spring_
sun had only
began to melt the snow in the moun
tain canyons and gulenes, and travel
through these natural highways was
.replete with difficulties and dangers.
Being anxious to push forward, hoW
ever, a party of adventurous persons
was.formed, and the South Park Tell
road taken up. Storins—first rain,
then sleet and snow—prevailed from
the outset; but the silver seekers
were firm in their purpose, and after
seven trying days of travel Leadville
was arrived at. Its population did
not exceed 10,000, it being simply a
collection of cabins amt canvas tents,
which gave ishelter to a sprinkling of
all nationalities of the earth, except
ing the Chinese. Two, elements of
society predominated—the honest ;
and dishonest—and no' go-between
classes were recognized. A man
either toiled with pickla the carbon;
ate belts, kept a general store and
boarding house, or was a saloon
keeper and gambler., There, was ari.
absence of law and order Land blood
was shed with that naiver Mil

lessness which has characterized_ all
frontier settlements and mining
camps
The journey from Joplin had about
depleted the treasury of the Johnson
party, and 'it was necessary that the
two men should first seek 'employ
ment in the mines and earn the
means .essential to the staking of a
claim and its'development. A cabin
unhewed lop was erected at the
foot of Oak street Jennie- installed
an its mistress,. and Paul and John
found WO* at the Myers smelter.
Every Sunday Paul and Jahn Made
prospecting trips out from camp; and
one day in July they traversed Evans
Gulch to-the base of Treasury Hill.
At that point an outcropping of the
precious mineral was founds and in
such quantities as to give promise of
a rich bed underneath. A cabin was
biilt a stone's throw from the new
discovery, the old one in Oak street
finding a ready sale, and before the
first'week.in August the little party
was in new quarters.
A spot more bleak,barren and for
bing than the head of ,vans Gulch
cannot be found in all Olorado. It
is just at timber line,
.above which
vegetation ceases to grog, an d the
few dwarfed and stunted pines are
sere and yellotAhroughout the year.
Three sides uf the basin are hemmed
in by overhanging walls of gray
granite, and the fourth is bathed by
the sun not to exceed fivd hours a
day when the days are longest in the
summer months. It was in this ba•
sin that, the new cabin was erected,
and a more desolate site for a home
it would be difficult to conceive
Jennie was averse . to inhabiting .it,
but the two prospectors were wealth
mad, and would have located on the
edge of a volcano and dared its might,
had there been silverin sight. During
pleasant weather the young girt
passed the greater part of her leisure
moments in the camp, -five miles
away below. Christian women were
few in the wicked young city, and as
the, season was a sickly one, the
miners so unfortunate as to be strick
en down by pneumonia or mountain
fever received , insufficient nursing.
There was no hospital, and the La
dies' Relief
_AssoCiation comprised
not to exceed ten working members.l
Jennie became prominently identified
with this organization,. and either
nursed many a poor felkow back to
_life, or received his last message for
friends 'back on earth,' as the East
ern States were universally designat
ed. These tender acts endeared the
sweet-deed Missouri girl to the
'rough miners,
and an insult to her
would have been resented .by every
honest man in Lake County. 'She is
the angel of _Evans Gulch, and no
mistake, said a blue-shirted individ
ual, and thenceforward Jennie was
known by no other name from Mount
Massive to the High Lane. , The
premature explosion of a blast in the
Dolores mine injured four of the
workmen, and Jennie was summoned.
Freeman Hughes, one of the quartet,
was lying when s he reached his side.
In a- belt about his waist was $385,
and, before expiring, he, asked that
this sum be presented to : .; the: Angel
of Evans Gulch. His request was
complied witlf , by the foreman‘of the
mine. hut Jennie declined to accept
the dying. e gift, and it reVerted-to the
county after passing through the
Coroner's hands. One person who
was nursed back .to life by Jennie
was George Carter, a young man,
who owned eight paying lodes on
Fryer and Iron hills. He was pros
trated by mountain fever, and when
the physicians shook. their heads
mournfully, and said, 'Poor Carter
will die,' the Angel of Evans Gulch
came, checked the swift fever, and
death was beaten hack. The first
clay Carter was
. permitted to leave
his house, he rode up Fvans Gulch
toy: the Johnson cabin. Jennie was
seated in the open doorway, heniming
an_article of table linen, and hum
ming a bar from an old,Scotch ballad.
'Don't be frightened, it is not my
ghost,' enjoined Carter, as Jennie
arose and invited him to enter the
cabin. He- checked his horse, dis
mounted, and after several attempts
at, carrying on a general cOnvers&
tied said, bluntly :
'Miss i Jennie, I want to say some
thing—something to you—and for
the life of me I don't know how to
go about it.'
'ls it anything important, Mr. Car
ter?' asked the young lady, &pink
and red tide suffusing her cheeks and
temples, and ascending to thetoots
of her soft brown hair.
`lmportant ?' he echoed, him voice
growina firmer ; 'it is everything to
one. You saved my life a few days
ago, and now this life will be forever
miserable if you do not become my
wife.'
For a moment Jennie looked pain
ed and hurt, then she raised her
frank hazel eyes, and replied in a low
tone which bore a firm conviction of
its truthfulness: 'Mr. Carter,
I-- am_
so sorry ; but. really - I
cannot marry
you. lam engaged to John Purdy,
and I love him dearly.'
George Carter glade no reply. He
drew back, a pace„ gathered up his
bridle-rein, mounted his horse and
rode away down the gulch us - tbough
in a half-stupefied condition of mind.
In the meantime *Jennie's father
and. John Purdy had met with indit

flakes would fall 'for days without

a miniature avalanche would break

John as he toiled in the shaft thirty
six feet below.the surfa2e. About

would come swirling up the gulch
on the bosom of the piercing blast,
penetrate the narrow glen, strike the
cold granite walls which' surrounded
the lone habitation, and: then Tall
listlessly at its base.
'You had- better persuade your
pop to - move'4olll2 till spring, little
girl;' said Pete Firmest); the owner
of the Columbia and Uncle Sam
mines, in conversation with Jennie
one afternoon. He was returning to
the city from a tour of inspection to
his interests on Mosquito Range, and
looked in at the-Johnson cabin for a
brief rest. ° .
'Why so, M. Finnerty ?' asked
Jennie, as she poured Mtn out a cup
of strong, hot coffee
'Well,' continued the man, who
could count his wealth among the
millions, 'this is a treacherous spot.
Jake Long, of the Long and Derry
mines, said to me only yesterday
that he had hunted over this section
for nigh on to twepty years, and had
never seen a Christmas but what this
basin was filled. with snow.'
'But Christmas is five weeks and
better away,' replied the girl, 'and
who- knows but what we may find
sand earbollates before that time.'
Pete Finnerty made no answer to
the hopeful reply, but hia_manner, as
he buttoned his great storm coat of
fur and took his departnre„would
have led one to believe that as an cx
pert he did not hold that carbonates .
were either plenty or easy of access
on Treasury Hill
On the subsequent morning it was
discovered that John Purdy had been
stricken down with the dread pneu
monia—a =tidy which in the morn).
tains - of Colorado is about as fatal as
yellow fever on the Southern sea
holm'. Paul thought it best to call
a physician without delay, and set
out through the heavy storm in quest
of Dr. Law. The little clock on the
cupboard marked 7:45 o'clock, and
Jennie was in the act of entering the
sick chamber, when-a crackling noise
on the mountain attracted her attcn•
tion. Momentarily it gq . ew sharper
until it resembled the noise of thun-
der close at hand. Then the air was
darkened, and then came a series of
heavy concussions, which broke the
windows of the cabin, and swayed its
rude sides until the whole seemed on
the point of crumbling to pieces. A
cloud, half dust, half snow, penetrat
ed every orifice, and Jennie saw by
the firelight from the stove that snow
had arisen without to a level with the
shattered windows. Her observations
from this source *ere of brief dura
tion, however, for there was another
fall of snow which filled the chimney
and extinguished the fire in the
stove. Despite her sudden alarm and
perilous situation,
she retained suffi
cient presence of mind to surmise
that 'an avalanche had - occurred, and
that the cabin had received its full
shock. Proeuring a match and a
lamp, she ignited the former, liehted
the latter, and ran to John's side to
assure him that she bad escaped un
harmed.
And.the surmises of Jennie John
son were , correct, for an avalanche of
snow and boulders, equal to any that
ever swept down Treasury Hill, bad
gathered from some unknown cause
near the summit, broken loose, moved
from drag to crag until the entire
face of the mountain was in motion,
and4hen with majestic force caught
up every obstacle in its path and
plunged Into the basin; burying the
lone cabin to a depth of forty feet.
The noise made by the moving masa
in its inception was
-borne to the ears
of Paul Johnson as he set out for the
city. Ile paused, hesitated for in
instant, and then, rightly conjecturing
that an avalanche was approaching,
attempted to retrace his steps to the
cabin and either save his loved ones
or perish with them. But he never
gained the puncheon door, for, when
only ten yards away he stumbled and
fell prone in the snow. Before he
could regain his feet the snow bosom
was at hand. The pine branches,
loose stone, rubbish and eaked.flakes
beat him down. Bruised and helpless
he struggled to no purpose for a few
moments, and then the stifling dust
got into his nostrils, mouth and lungs,
and he was suffocated to death.
When Jennie gained the sick room
she- found John Purdy laboring un- ,
der great excitement. He only vague
ly comprehended what had occurred,
fancying in his delirium that death
menaced himeelf and betrothed from
another source, 'We are back in
Joplin, and the mine has fallen and
hurt me on the breast,' he said in a
husky tone. 'I always knew that it
would cave in, but had hoped that it
would first be flooded with water in
order that the workmen of the day
and night shafts would be notified -in
time to flee : but now the worst has
happened, and all are killed outright
except John Purdy.'
Jennie fell upon- her knees at the
side-of the couch while the poor fel
low was talking, and , prayed for his
speedy deliverance as only a Chris
tian woman can pray. She momen
tarily expected the roof to collapse
under its great weight of snow, and
knew that in the event of such a ,
catastrophe deathwould surely ensue.
Her only hope was that her father
would come to the rescue before it
was too late.
The "day passed slowly to the in
mates of the buried cabin. The
minutes dragged by so slowly that
they seemed hours, but no aid came.
John Purdy grew rapidly worse as
the-day wore on, and a few minutes
before 6 . o'clock he expired in his
sweetheart's arms. • We death was a

until - far in the night in mute despair.
Then the *while of her soul were
opened, and the •.hot. tears leaped
forth With -tears, reason returned,
and she awoke to a realization of her
appalling 'condition. 'All now de. :
pends on father,'; she would say half
aloud, little dreaming of his cruel
fate, and then .her _ thoughts would
revert to her dead lover, and her
tears would now anew. The young
girl spent four days in that 'living
tomb. She did not suffer from the
cold, for above — her was a blanket of
snow, and - between it and the rocky
wall against which the cabin was
built, were interstices which .admit•
ted of the passage of sufficient air to
sustain one human life. - 'Her sur•
rounding% however, were, more than
enough to drive an ordinary person
mad. The last drop of coal Oil was
burned during the second day, and,
after that, the darksaes was as dense
as. that which once settled down over
ancient Egypt. Sleep was out of the
question, and-at times she feared her
reason was becoming clouded. 'lf I
only keep up courage till father
comes,' she would keep repeating
over and over again. During- the
second day a mountain rat effected
an entrance to the snow-entombed
cabin. It came from the basin aide,
„fierce and hungry after the incessant
storms which had placed a barrier
between itself and natural food. Its
eyia shone like live coals of fire, and
its squeaking voice was bold and
challenging. To Jennie the rodent
seemed half human. She watched its
eyes as it scented out and devoured
the - few crumbs scattered about the
room, and when it finally disappeared'
n one corner she told herself thati it
would come and cheer her on the
morrow. Strange to say, she did not
at any time abandon hope. She
placed implicit faith in her father,
and attributed every sound made by
the settling of the snow to his exer
tions- for ber rescue.: She bad no de-
sire for food, and only moistened her
parched lips with water at intervals.
At the close of the fourth day Jen
nie heard muffled sounds and voices
w' 4 ,igibout. They became more audible
evbry moment, and finally an instru
ment which emitted a metallic sound
like a shovel; rang against the window
only a few feet away. from her head.
'lt is - father,' she • cried, in joyous
tones, and stood erect with out
stretched hands. Again came the
sounds from without, and then an
exclaniation of delight, coupled with
an oath, announced that the cabin
bad been forind, To the imprisoned
woman the curse) 'founded sweeter
than did ever prayer from pious lips,
for it told as: plainly as words that
the long craved deliverance was at
band. She attempted to cry out, but
her lips were mute.; her brain seemed
on fire. A ray of light penetrated
tho room, and with one wild, piercing
shriek she fell forward on her face in
a death-like swoon across the lifeless
remains of her loier.
When Jennie Johnson regained
consciousness the scene was changed.
She was lying upon a luxuriant
couch in a handsomely furnished
room. It was night, and a lamp on
a centre table shed a soft, warm light.
She attempted to arise, but the effwt
proved `too serious a task, and she
sank back on the pillow, weak and
helpless. The noise. she made, slight
though it was, attracted the attention
of a lady seated at the opposite side
of the bed, aud coming forward with
a anger to her tips as though enjoin-
ing silence, she said :
'I am Mrs. Bowe, and this is the
house of my brother t , Mr. George
Carter. You have been ill almost
unto death, but now the crisis has
passed and you are out of danger.
Do not speak, but take a quiet and
refreshing sleep. You are safe among
friends.'
Jennie ‘ closed her eyes without a
dissenting thought, and in a few mo
ments.was sleeping as sweetly as a
babe at its mother's breast. The
next morning she awoke, greatly re
freshed, to find Mrs. Howe, Dr. Law
and George Carter present.. The
physician pronounced her convalesc
ing rapidly, and briefly described
how she was rescued from the ' snow
tomb at the head of Evans Gulch.
On the - day succeeding the' ava
lanche George Carter went_up to:the
gulch to inspect some clabis he had
purchased on the opposite side ;
'Above the basin he saw the track of
the snowslide, and, following it, dia
covere 1 that the Johnson ca bin had
been swallowed up. In. a state of
great apprehension he returned) to
camp, and notified the miners I of
what he had learned. The news ran
through the streets like wildfire, that
the Angel of Evans Gulch was in
peril, and before night a , hundred
strong men, equipped •with shovels,
were at the head of the. gulch. The
outlook was almostlopeless; but the
miners attacked the great bed of
snow, prothising themselves that they
would release the woman, whom 'they
had re-christened Angel, if such a
feat' was possible. At noon on the
third day, the body of Paul Johnson
was found. The discovery, wille a
a l
sad one, sufficed to accelerate the,
willing xrdy of men, and they l pr-
ed without cessation. George Carter
directed the work, and never left the
post at the fore. At intervals be was
almost bereft of reason thrOugh fear
that the cabin bad been crushed to a
mass of ruins. At last, however, the
cabin was gained, and the piteous
cry of p6or Jennie, as she fainted,
assured Carter that she still lived.
In answer to that cry he leaped thro'
the window, and in another moment
reappeared, bearing the woman he
almost idolized. She was revived by
the cheers of the miners who - gath
ered about on every mind, shouting
and applauding in a half hysterical
fashion. But there was an " unnatural
light in her eyes which caused Dr.
Law to look grave, and he:whispered
to Carter : 'Poor girl, I fear the
shock is too much for her, She 'is
now delirious, and her mind may be
totally unbalanced.' i
Strong hands prepared a litter :of
pine branches, and the patient was
carried by four sure-footed miners to
Carter's residence. Then the bodies
of Paul Johnson and . John Purdy
were conveyed to an undertaking .es•

Penp , that to kill a white deer would
take away all good lack from any
one so thoughtless as to fire the fatal
shot. White deer .are among the
rare animals that roam the woods.
They are so rare, in fact, that many
people believe them to be myths
